Ladies and gentlemen – Just Adalberto Alvarez
Adalberto Alvarez, also known as "El Caballero del Son", is a Cuban pianist, singer, composer and bandleader. It is known for his contributions to the son, a traditional genre which currently remains the favorite of many music lovers in Cuba and the rest of the world.
It is the most versioned Cuban sonero in the past 3 decades. His works have been performed by prestigious artists as Juan Luis Guerra and the 440, Eddie Palmieri, Andy Montanez, Papo Lucca and the Ponceña Sonora and Oscar de Leon, among others. His band has worked with Cuban musicians like Frank Fernandez, Silvio Rodriguez, Issac Delgado, Celina Gonzalez and Omara Portuondo.
First steps of a star
Adalberto Alvarez was born in Havana, Cuba, 22 November 1948. By 1957 he works as arranger and bandleader of Avance Juvenil, his father´s orchestra. One of his first compositions, Con un besito mi amor, will be later popularized by Rumbavana.
In 1972 he graduated from the National School of Art (ENA) and enters on the Provincial Art School of Camagüey as a professor of Musical Literature, until 1978. That same year he founded the Son 14 group. In 1979 the group recorded his first album, A Bayamo en Coche, with EGREM and the musical production of the master Frank Fernandez.
In 1980 they participated in the Third International Fair of Barquisimeto, Venezuela, and the 2nd Caribbean Music Festival in Colombia. The following year, they released another album, Son como Son.
In 1984, Adalberto founded his second group, Adalberto Álvarez y su Son. Endowed with huge experimental spirit, they explore new sounds and musical wealth by using trombones, trumpets, piano, three, paila, bass, bongos and congas. A year later they travel to Spain to play in Seville, Gijon, Tenerife and Madrid, where they share scene with Cheo Feliciano and Eddie Palmieri.
In 1986 they move to Finland to perform at the Winter Carnival in Helsinki. Then, they performed in the city of Tampere and several Finnish universities. Then they travel to Berkeley, California. In 1987 they played in several European festivals such as the North Sea Jazz and Salsa '87. At the end of this stage of tours, the peculiar style of the group was recognized worldwide.
In 1989, Adalberto Alvarez works with the group of Pancho Amat. In 1990, his song A bailar el toca toca becomes a success. The following year, the group takes a new dimension with the masterpiece Y qué tú quieres que te den, one of the first song that discuss the Yoruba religion openly. In 1997, they sign with the European label Milan Music.
In 1999, they made a promotional tour around Latin America, United States and Europe. At the USA they promote their album Jugando con Candela. The album Sueño de una gitana is selected Latin music best album by the Music Magazine, published in Japan. In 2001, Adalberto Alvarez adds 3 new members to your band. With this new formation, they performed in the Festival del Sol, in Santiago de Cuba. Three years later, the band made an European tour to promote the album Para Bailar Casino. Since then, they have been regulars at scenarios both in Cuba and around the world.
Awards to the Effort
With more than 25 albums, Adalberto Alvarez is one of the most prolific artists of the island. The uninterrupted work of this great Cuban musician was recognized by the Felix Varela´s Order in 2002 and the National Music Award in 2008.

"Alle mine tankar" () foi o título da canção que representou a Noruega no Festival Eurovisão da Canção 1993 que teve lugar em Millstreet, na Irlanda.

Foi interpretada em norueguês Silje Vige. Na noite do festival, foi a 25.ª e última canção a ser interpretada, a seguir à canção israelita Shiru, interpretada por Sarah'le Sharon e The Shiru Group. Terminou a competição em quinto lugar, tendo recebido um total de 120 pontos. No ano seguinte, no Festival Eurovisão da Canção 1994, a Noruega fez-se representar com a canção Duett, interpretada por Elisabeth Andreassen e Jan Werner Danielsen.

Autores
A canção tinha letra e música de Bjørn-Erik Vige (curiosamente o pai da cantora) e foi orquestrada por Rolf Løvland.

Letra
A canção é uma balada, com Silje Vige dirigindo as suas palavras a um amante. Não está claro na letra da canção se o homem é de fa(c)to um amante ou se se trata de uma afeição não retribuída, visto que Vige parece dar aos encontros um significado emotivo.

Versões
Vige lançou também um versão em inglês desta canção intitulada "Love's tokens"

Shifting the focus back to residents, where it belongs.
We're developing a new standard in Canadian multi-family residential real estate – Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities ("NORC"). We're focused on mid-market properties in secondary markets.
Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities are defined by long-term residents, primarily retired or close to it. The residents tend to be a highly engaged community of common interests (ethnicity, religious, armed forces, etc). They tend to value proximity to healthcare and transportation, and seek out service choices and convenience. ViveRE is a facilitation and enhancement factor to what is already evolving naturally.


Pricing your property correctly is very important in today's market. Carrie George is knowledgeable and hardworking and strives to get you the most money for your property in the least amount of time.
Correct pricing is perhaps the single most important thing you can do when selling your property. A competitive price will attract the right buyers in a shorter amount of time. Many sellers think that they can start high and then come down, and in fact many sellers do just this. However, you can miss your most qualified buyers by starting too high. When all is said and done if priced too high you can waste an awful lot of time and money waiting for an offer when you would have been better off pricing your property competitively from the get go.
With your needs and goals in mind, I will help you correctly price your property in today's market. Call or email me today for a free market analysis on your property.
Why won't my property sell?
Generally there are three factors that effect the saleability of a property; LOCATION, CONDITION & PRICE. There is nothing you can do to change location, though this may be a reason that your property won't sell. Condition can be anything from needing a new coat of paint to needing a new roof. You can change condition, but it might be very expensive or time consuming. Price is a factor that you probably have some control over and is paramount in the buyers mind when it come to VALUE. Some buyers might be okay with fixer-upper, but want to feel like they are getting a good value.
1. Your original purchase price: Chances are you paid market value. Markets change and today we have to deal with the current market conditions which may have changed significantly.
2. Over improvements: Improvements should be made for enjoyment, not resale. You cannot add an item to a property, select it according to your style, use it and then expect a buyer to pay the original cost.
3. The owner's need for money: The owner's need for money or the fact that the owner is moving to a more expensive area where he/she will have to pay more for a property has nothing to do with the property's current market value.
4. The cost to rebuild or replace today: It is probable that the cost to build has increased since your home was built. Again, this is not a determination of value as the rate at which building materials has increased is not related to the rise and fall of the real estate market.
5. The seller's personal attachment to the property: Most everyone thinks that their home is the best home on the market, and it may very well be the nicest and best home for sale in the area. However, your personal feelings about your property do not make it worth more in the open market.
6. Certain types of improvements: Putting in a swimming pool when you live at 9000 feet above sea level might be an improvement that you will not see any return on due to the extensive maintenance and limited warm months. When making unusual improvements to your property, be mindful that you may not see an increase in property value.


After the murder of four children / James Baldwin.
After the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama on September 15, 1963, James Baldwin spoke to an overflowing crowd at the New York Community Church. Baldwin spoke against the use of terrorism to achieve political aims. The speech was recorded by WBAI at the New York Community Church, 25 September 1963.


This year marks the 10th anniversary of The Write Impression LLP and we are proud to have spent the last decade building a reputation as a trusted leading communications and digital marketing agency, partner to clients as far as the UAE and USA.
To celebrate this milestone, we have designed a new website and given our brand a makeover, so it best represents our company and our marketing approach. We also sat down after a long day in the office (with a cup of tea and slice of cake) to reminisce over the last 10 years, discussing the highs and the lows of our achievements as a company and memories as good friends.
I challenged the team to try and remember significant events of 2008, what else was going on in the world at the same time The Write Impression opened its doors?
2008 was the year that Barack Obama was elected president of the United States – the very first African-American president, a huge milestone in American history. We also couldn't forget the recession of 2007/2008 which had a massive impact on businesses all over the world and saw the end of the legendary Woolworths. It was a difficult time for a smaller company like TWI to open, however, our team of enthusiastic professionals were keen to succeed and helped many clients to experience the value of PR, driving their business through challenging times.
We then headed to trusty Google to jog our memory on other interesting/ sad/ funny events that occurred in 2008 and we are lucky enough to share our 10-year anniversary with.
Unlike 2008 Britney, TWI is stronger than ever and looks forward to the year ahead. We are working on exciting projects with fantastic clients who we want to thank for being part of our company's success over the last 10 years.
We promise to continually deliver creativity, innovation, quality and of course, those all-important results!


We trust the medical staff and employees at nursing homes to provide their best care. When errors or negligence result in the injury of a patient, the family often feels anger and guilt. This is understandable; however, it is no one's fault for trusting professionals to do their jobs.
Seeking justice for your loved one is important. I understand that life has value beyond loss of income or medical expenses. By holding the nursing home responsible for its actions, we may prevent the same type of injury from happening to another patient. Contact the law office of Richard H. Raphael for a free consultation to discuss your loved one's nursing home injury.
Nursing home neglect is the failure to provide fundamental, necessary services such as food, clothing, shelter, medical care and supervision. If the acts of negligence are intentional, then the case may be nursing home abuse.
In the most severe instances, nursing home neglect or abuse may result in permanent injuries or wrongful death.
I can help you pursue a lawsuit to compensate your family member for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, medical costs and other losses. With more than 30 years of experience as an attorney, I have the knowledge and skill to help your family find closure after an incident of nursing home neglect.
For a free initial consultation with an experienced lawyer, please call my Westport, Connecticut, office at 203-226-6168. Evening and weekend appointments may be available.

Back to One, Episode 72: Lee Pace
Lee Pace has one of those dream acting careers where he gets to be painted blue or dons elf ears to play Ronan (Guardians of the Galaxy) or Thranduil (The Hobbit films), sparking the imagination of countless fans around the world, and then he hits the Broadway stage and knocks 'em dead as Joe Pitt in Angels in America. I ask him if he takes stock of that aspect of his career, and we talk about a curious note Barry Sonnenfeld gave him while making Pushing Daisies that he still uses to this day. Plus why he's not bothered by… Read more

Back to One, Episode 71: Jake Lacy
I first took note of Jake Lacy's exquisite comedic delivery in The Office and How to Be Single, and was pleased to see him shine while going deep and dark, like in this year's Diane, and last year's I'm Dying Up Here. He even stands out playing opposite heavyweights like Rooney Mara in Carol, and Michelle Williams in Fosse/Verdon. I gathered from past interviews that he spoke with an authenticity that was going to work very well on Back To One, but I was not prepared for the level of comfort and delicacy with which he opened up to me… Read more
Back to One, Episode 70: Greg Kinnear
He started out as a TV host in the '90s, but Greg Kinnear quickly made the transition to leading man thanks to legendary directors like Sydney Pollack and James L. Brooks investing in his acting talent. An Oscar nomination for As Good As It Gets followed, and he's been making movies ever since, Little Miss Sunshine, Auto Focus, Little Men, to name just a few. This Summer he has three movies out — Brian Banks, The Red Sea Diving Resort (Netflix), and Phil, which he also directed. In this episode, we discuss the importance of tone, his penchant for playing… Read more
Back To One Ep. 69: Ruben Santiago-Hudson
Actor/writer/director Ruben Santiago-Hudson is the kind of artist whose awe-inspiring dedication to the work can almost be overwhelming. He won a Tony Award for his performance in August Wilson's Seven Guitars. His autobiographical play Lackawanna Blues was a sensation at the Public Theater and went on to be an award-winning HBO film. He started directing plays (particularly Wilson's) and is now one of the most sought-after directors working in theater. His production of Jitney on Broadway won the Tony award for Best Revival of a Play. As an actor, he can currently be seen on Showtime's Billions and recently on… Read more

Back to One, Episode 68: Damon Herriman
It's rare for one actor to be cast as the same real-life character in two different productions almost simultaneously. When that real life character is Charles Manson, that makes some news. Australian actor Damon Herriman has taken on this challenging role in both Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood and the second season of David Fincher's Netflix series Mindhunter. Herriman is perhaps best know for playing Dewey Crowe in the series Justified and currently plays Paul Allen Brown in Perpetual Grace LTD. We talk about the character of Manson, how good writing makes for good acting, and why… Read more

Kevin Corrigan will always have a special spot in the Back To One pantheon, not just because he was the very first guest, but because he set the stage for the discussions on the craft of acting that were to come—personal, steeped in the work, confessional at times, often inspirational, always educational. In this hour, he shares some more inspiring personal experiences from a life in acting, and also talks about the work of those who've inspired him, from his friend Natasha Lyonne and his current co-star Pete Davidson, to Marlon Brando, Glenda Jackson, Taylor Negron, the actor Bob Dylan,… Read more

Back to One, Episode 66: Jesse Eisenberg
While he might be best known for his Oscar-nominated performance as Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, Jesse Eisenberg's preternatural ability for making unique characterization choices has won him roles in wildly original films, both indie and studio, such as The End of the Tour, Adventureland, Holy Rollers, American Ultra, Zombieland, and two of my favorites, The Squid and the Whale and The Double. Now he continues that trend with Riley Stearns' The Art of Self Defense. In this half hour he talks about the effort he put into finding the right tone to play the absurdity in that film,… Read more

Back to One, Episode 65: Emmy Harrington
I first was introduced to the incredible talents of Emmy Harrington on the set of Caveh Zahedi's The Show About The Show, where she plays "Slut Machine," and witnessed, first hand, her ability to adapt to all types of run-and-gun shooting environments and unorthodox directing styles and deliver a great performance take after take. You can also see her work in shows like High Maintenance and Jessica Jones, and an award-winning film she wrote, directed, and stars in — Two Little Bitches — is currently making the festival circuit. I sat down with her a couple of days after directing… Read more
Back to One, Episode 64: David Zayas
David Zayas has so many credits on television, in movies, and on the stage that it's hard to believe he was also a New York City police officer for 15 years. He's played a lot of fictional cops too, so many he's lost count, but he says his career highlight was portraying Angel Batista for eight seasons on Showtime's hit series Dexter. Before that he dabbled on the other side of the law, playing Enrique Moralez on the HBO drama Oz. He was an early member of the LAByrinth Theater company with Paul Calderone, John Ortiz, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman,… Read more

Back to One, Episode 63: Jacki Weaver
Jacki Weaver's "big break" story is unique because she was finally embraced by Hollywood at age 63, landing an Oscar nomination for her incredible performance in the Australian film Animal Kingdom, after being a staple in the Australian theater and film world for 30 years. She went on to great roles in such films as Widows, The Disaster Artist, and Magic in The Moonlight, plus the acclaimed new version of Uncle Vanya on the stage with Cate Blanchett, not to mention her second Oscar nomination for Silver Linings Playbook. And this year she stars opposite Diane Keaton in the cheer-elder… Read more

Q: How to detect Caps Lock state on page load (that is, not on keypress) with JavaScript? So I've been researching solutions for Caps Lock detection for a form, using JavaScript/jQuery. There is a huge thread on stackoverflow offering many solutions. But the only problem is they don't check whether Caps Lock is pressed directly per se. They detect whether a capital letter has been entered and that the shift key has not been depressed. The drawbacks of this is that my Caps Lock warning message will not toggle on/off until the user starts typing into the form, which is hardly optimal. Here is my code.
document.onkeypress = function(e){
    e = e || window.event;
    var s = String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode || e.which);
    if (s.toUpperCase() === s && !e shiftKey) {
        capsWarning.style.visibility = 'visible';
    } else {
        capsWarning.style.visibility = 'hidden';
    }
}

Is there a better way, that I can trigger a caps lock message, with JavaScript when I press the Caps Lock key? That is, not delay toggling message until I start typing?
Preferably I'd prefer a pure JavaScript solution to JQuery. Although if you think jQuery would be really really really good here say why and I could pressure my colleague to let me include it here ;o

A: I've used this piece of code and to try dispatch an event. The getModifierState MSDN, MDN won't return other than false. With this actually you will send a character as it is - "a" or "A". Either case it will be hard coded.
getModifierState will return true only in the case of real keypress.
But there is an automatic CapsLock detection in IE 11 ( for <input type="password" /> )
            var eventType = "keypress";
            window.addEventListener ( eventType, function(e){
                var msg = "Key Pressed: " + String.fromCharCode(e.charCode) + "\n" + "charCode: " + e.charCode + "\n" + e.getModifierState ( "CapsLock" );
                console.log ( msg );
            }, false );

            function simulateKeyEvent() {
                var evt = document.createEvent("KeyboardEvent");
                var initMethod = typeof evt.initKeyboardEvent !== 'undefined' ? "initKeyboardEvent" : "initKeyEvent";

A: I tested this in chrome and it worked, put this JavaScript in tag
function  loadcaps ( e ) {
     e = e || window.event;
     var s = String.fromCharCode( e.keyCode || e.which );
     if ( s.toUpperCase() === s && !e.shiftKey ) {
          capsWarning.style.visibility = 'visible';
     } else {
          capsWarning.style.visibility = 'hidden';
     }
  }

and put that on your tag

let me know if it works for you.

A: Use below mention code:

    <input type="text" name="trackcaps" onkeypress="capLock(event)" />

Caps Lock is on.
`enter code here`

Caps Lock is off.

A: Use the onkeydown handler:
document.onkeypress=function(){console.log(arguments);}

Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have found that refined carbs, such as white bread, white rice, and soda, can trigger depression in postmenopausal women, with symptoms that include mood changes and fatigue. These are side effects of the body's hormonal responses to reduce spiking levels of blood sugar that result from such foods, according to a study of more than 70,000 postmenopausal women that was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In contrast, eating a diet that is high in fiber, vegetables, whole fruit (not fruit juice), and some whole grains can decrease risk.

Western New England University President Anthony S. Caprio and Massachusetts Life Sciences Center President Susan Windham-Bannister talk after the announcement of the a new $500,000 grant awarded by the center to the university for cancer research and development efforts.
SPRINGFIELD – The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center announced Friday that it has awarded a $500,000 grant to Western New England University to fund equipment related to cancer drug research and development.
Administrators, faculty, students and city officials gathered at the university on Wilbraham Road to praise the state-funded grant presented by the center's president and chief executive officer, Susan Windham-Bannister.
A key strategy of the statewide capital grant program is to promote academic and private sector collaboration in the life sciences, and the Western New England University grant is a "great example" of that initiative, Windham-Bannister said.
"Cancer is something that affects all of us," Windham-Bannister said. "All of us either individually or we have family members who have been impacted by cancer. So we are very pleased to support important cancer related work that is going on here at WNEU."
Equipment will be purchased for the development of "live cancer cell drug filtration and testing platforms," Windham-Bannister said. The university will collaborate with two research organizations, Cellular Engineering Technologies and FioDesign Sonics, to aid in the product marketing and research, she said.
University President Anthony S. Caprio joined in praising the grant saying the latest grant project is something the university "very much wants to do, and is very much equipped to do."
Anthony English, associate professor of biomedical engineering, said students will be very much involved in the project and it will be part of the curriculum.
"The grant will allow us to forge working relationships with our industrial partners, perform cutting-edge research, and introduce our young minds to the possibilities of cost-effective personalized medicine," English said.
The Massachusetts Live Sciences Center is an investment agency that supports live sciences innovation, research, development and commercialization. The agency is charged with implementing a 10-year, $1 billion state-funded investment initiative passed by the state Legislature and Gov. Deval Patrick in 2008.
Mayor Domenic J. Sarno and state Sen. Gale Candara, D-Wilbraham, joined in praising the grant program.
Representatives of four area high schools and Girls Inc. of Holyoke also attended the press conference to celebrate recent grants totaling approximately $300,000 from the Life Sciences Center for equipment and supplies. Those receiving the grants were: Westfield High School; the Springfield High School of Science and Technology; Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School; and Northern Berkshire Vocational Regional School District (McCann Tech).
The grants will promote STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) educational programs in the selected high schools, the center said.
Massachusetts has been a leader in life science efforts, Windham-Bannister said.


Real Estate Brokerage & Office Management is required by the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission to qualify for a Broker's license. It also fulfills 30 hours of continuing education.
Students will also learn how to develop best practices of staffing, recruiting and coaching performance, and the vital components of performance monitoring and managing risk.
Fridays, October 8 to November 22, 2019 @ 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

AGENT SIDE GRINDER (S)
Contemporary bands that appeared on the wave of post-punk revival, aim primarily—and unfortunately—to copy the style of their great predecessors. The same cannot be said about the Swedish Agent Side Grinder—its musicians purposefully go back to the roots of the early 80s in order to seek inspiration, the post-punk/krautrock/industrial/electronic sounds they create, however, are genuine, not merely copied. The end result constitutes a radical and bold modern music, sprinkled with the apocalyptic vocal of Kristoffer Gripa. Their songs are clearly influenced by the masters of old—like Kraftwerk, Einstürzende Neubauten, Depeche Mode, Suicide, Cabaret Voltaire and Joy Division—but also spiced up with elements of Belgian EBM and a dash of the psychedelic à la The Doors. The mixture forms a unique, modern and fresh sound that will appeal to fans of all: industrial, electro, old school EBM and krautrock. Against the flow of time, Agent Side Grinder proved to be a band of great performers that utilizes only analog equipment. It's one of those formations in the music of which you can hear a plethora of different elements—they can play a song filled with complex, experimental sound only to surprise us with a clear melodic tune, served over an industrial background of noises and screeches. At times they can be dark as the original gothic bands, while on other occasions they can surprise us with liveliness and energy of their tracks.

US COMPANY To Invest $150 million in Copper Mine-HH
The Mingomba copper mining project in Zambia will be developed with 150 million dollars from California-based exploration company KoBold Metals.
According to Reuters, the Mingomba project is a partnership between the Zambian state-backed miner ZCCM-IH and the Australian private equity firm EMR Capital.
According to KoBold Metals, Mingomba holds 247 million tonnes of ore with an average grade of 3.64 percent copper and has the potential to become "one of the world's top-tier mines."
In Washington, D.C., at the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, the business made the planned investments public.
President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA informed investors that Zambia is open for business when he announced the agreement at the conference.
The investment, according to President HICHILEMA, is for the benefit of the rest of the globe as it struggles with climate change, not KoBold, ZCCM, or Zambia.
The agreement, which will give KoBold a controlling interest in Mingomba, is anticipated to be finalized in the first quarter of 2019.
By 2032, the government wants to increase the nation's annual copper production from the current level of about 850 thousand tonnes to 3 million tonnes.
Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a climate and technology fund established by Microsoft's Bill Gates and supported by Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Virgin's Richard Branson, is one of KoBold's investors.

Vern Burkhardt (VB): In The Business Model Innovation Factory you describe a business model as "…the story of how value is created, delivered, and captured." Would you explain?
Saul Kaplan: Most of us take our business models for granted because we've been living in our business models for so long. We don't really talk about it very much, but it's important to be able to describe your business model so that you can begin the conversation about what business model innovation is and how you re-invent it.
A business model involves three things. It's about creating, delivering and capturing value. Let me take each one.
It starts with how you're going to create value. Who are you going to create value for, and what value are you going to create? I like the Clay Christianson construct of the jobs to be done as a way to frame what your value proposition is, or how you're going to create value. What problem are you trying to solve in the marketplace? What job is your customers trying to do that you're going to help them do better? So the first step is the value proposition, or how you're going to create value.
The second step is being able to articulate how you're going to deliver this value. How do you get it to your customers? What are the capabilities that you need to have in place or to partner with in order to deliver value to your customers, and then to scale it so you can deliver value to any number of customers. It starts by answering how you're going to deliver value to a single customer, and then expands to answer the question of how would that scale so you could deliver comparable value to many customers simultaneously.
The third piece is how you capture value. It involves capturing value in order to create the resources necessary to sustain and grow your business. Every organization needs resources deployed in order for it to run and to do work. Do you charge for your product and make money this way? Do you charge for a service? Do you have a one price fits all subscription model? If a nonprofit organization, do you raise money through philanthropic donations or other contributors to your organization?
It's about a story. A business model is a story of how you create, deliver, and capture value.
VB: Does a focus on 'jobs to be done' help clarify our thinking?
Saul Kaplan: Totally. One of the biggest challenges faced by most organizations, which know they need to reinvent their business model, is that they have trouble changing their lens.
We tend to think through the lens of our existing business model or organization. When we're looking for new products or services we naturally think about them from the perspective of our organization. Thus we miss opportunities to deliver value because we're constrained by our own business model. What we really ought to do is flip this around and see the world through the lens of our customers. We need to understand our customers' experience. We need to understand the job they're trying to do and then begin to think about how we're going to help them do it better.
By changing this perspective we open ourselves up to potential new business models, and thus we can potentially avoid being disrupted by someone else who does. If we're stuck thinking through the lens of our current business model and not able to adopt the view of our customers in order to design new business models this way, we're vulnerable to someone else who is able to do so. And for sure they will disrupt us. This is what's happening more and more to organizations.
VB: It's happening at an ever-escalating pace as well.
Saul Kaplan: Absolutely. The life of business models is declining. They don't last as long as they used to. In the old days CEOs and other leaders of organizations didn't have to change their business models. They could run their entire careers and spend their entire time focused on how to improve performance.
Today the business models don't last as long so the real challenge for a twenty-first century leader is how to improve the performance of the current business model while at the same time beginning to envision, design, prototype and test entirely new business models. This even includes those that might disrupt the existing one. It's hard to do, but if you're not thinking this way you're going to be more and more vulnerable to being disrupted.
VB: You say all organizations have a business model, including businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and even individuals. Even individuals?
Saul Kaplan: Yes. I started down the path of thinking about business models through the lens of corporations because that's where I spent a lot of my early career – within industry and then as a strategy consultant traveling around the world. But then I had an interesting opportunity to become an 'accidental bureaucrat'. I worked in government for about 6 years and for the first time in my life and career I thought about innovation, not through the lens of a corporation, but through the lens of a community.
Rhode Island where I live is an interesting place to do this because it's the smallest state in the U.S. It enables you can see the whole movie. You can see the way the pieces fit and work together, whether it's private sector business, government leaders, or university presidents. All of us know everyone by name, and we see the way these parts can work together or the way they don't. So I've become quite convinced that business models apply across the board, not only to companies but also to organizations in the public and social sectors. We need to figure out how to play with the parts more easily across those silos.
Then I began to think about us as individuals. I have come to the view that if we want to transform anything, whether it's an organization or a community, we had better start by talking about how we transform ourselves, how we reinvent ourselves. In the twenty-first century we need to become comfortable with the idea that we're going to have to reinvent ourselves several times over the course of our lives. They don't teach us how to do this in school or even when we get out of school, so we have to learn these skills and how to apply these tools through other means.
Individuals have personal business models in the way they create, deliver, and capture value. Today your business model might be about being an employee in a large corporation where you deliver certain work and for this effort you get paid a salary. Tomorrow you might find yourself in a position where you need to be a free agent or an entrepreneur learning how to deliver and capture value in a completely different way. I've spent a lot of time thinking about personal business models, and about how we need to put ourselves into a position where we can reinvent ourselves.
VB: Is it about making a lasting contribution?
Saul Kaplan: Yes. Virtually all of us want to do work that is meaningful and makes a difference, in whatever context we do our work. It's a shame when people are doing work, which they don't think is meaningful and making a difference, but they need to keep doing it because it's how they pay the bills. We only do our best work when we're really passionate about it.
We need to learn to light a fire in people and help them get better connected both within and outside of our organizations. If we don't we're going to see a lot more organizations getting disrupted and also having trouble holding onto their talent.
VB: "Storytelling is a critical element of any successful business model innovation effort." How does this work?
Saul Kaplan: If you believe as I do that people do their best at what they're passionate about, and they don't do as well at things they're not passionate about, then the trick is to have what we call an "inspiration accelerator". It's about how we inspire those around us – and ourselves – to follow a common passion or a shared purpose. It doesn't matter whether you're a company, school, government agency, or you're trying to change your community. It's all about how we inspire each other, and leverage our connections and ability to share information and to work together more effectively.
Story telling is one of the most important tools of any innovator. How do we convey our ideas in a story which creates an emotional connection for people? If we can see ourselves in a story we are more likely to want to sign up and participate in it. I'm a lot more likely to buy your product or service. I'm a lot more likely to collaborate or want to connect with you if we share stories with each other. In this sense storytelling is essential for business model innovation.
At the Business Innovation Factory, which I founded about 8 years ago, we spend a lot of time thinking about how do we create, package, and share stories amongst each other. And its not just stories at the end of completing a task. It used to be that marketing, public relations, and communications were the keepers of stories. They were responsible for shaping, packaging, and sharing the message. They only shared the story when the project was done, and the organization was ready to announce a new product with a big launch meeting. It's the world many of us grew up in.
The new world doesn't work this way. Now businesses exchange information and stories every single day, and their stories are more generative. Story telling is less about the pretty bow and the press release at the end, and more about the story of the work you're doing and how you're doing it. You are sharing it in all of its glory across multiple social media platforms and through different formats in order to try to get to people to connect and engage in the story. The hope is they will participate directly in the story and help you make it better. This is how movements get started.
Today it is much more about creating and launching movements than creating and launching companies. If you can form a movement which people are passionate about and therefore they want to connect with it, you're going to be more successful at getting people to not only buy your products and services but to tell their friends and their friends' friends. Story telling is an important tool for this.
VB: So the splash announcement about a new product, such as Apple does, is not the formula for future success?
Saul Kaplan: Watch the way Apple does this. You're right; they're close to the vest and protect what happens at the end but look at all the stories that abound leading up to their announcements. They get many people talking about their new products before being introduced to the marketplace. It's amazing the story telling that's going on, and Apple's ability to create a huge splash at the end. We mostly know what it's about by the time the launch meeting actually happens. There are incredible numbers of conversations and speculations being shared prior to these launches. It's interesting to watch.
VB: The key is that there be a conversation about the story?
Saul Kaplan: Absolutely. We need to enable our customers to participate in the story around our products and services. It's less of a push model where we would create the stories and push them out to the marketplace. It's much more of a pull where our customers are able to create the best stories about their experiences in our communities, and with our companies. We have to get far better at engaging our customers in story telling – absolutely.
VB: In your experience are most business leaders able to tell the story of their current business model using easy to understand words irrespective of the language they speak?
Saul Kaplan: No. Most organizations have been pedaling the bicycle of their business model for so long they completely take for granted the story of their business model.
When I ask people across a company to tell me the story of their business model, a lot of people don't know what a business model is so our conversation starts there. Even if they do know I get inconsistent stories about it, which is understandable. If you haven't had to change your business model, and all you're worried about is the effectiveness of your current business model, you don't focus on telling the story of your business model.
Story telling is important internally just as much as it's important externally in the marketplace. If you want to create a new business model, get people to embrace it, and encourage the people in your organization to move into a new or different business model, you had better be good at story telling. You better be good at helping people understand how they fit into the story, and how they can engage and participate in it.
VB: You have to guard against using an organization's internal jargon.
Saul Kaplan: Yes. I talk about getting below the buzzwords. If you want people to relate to the story you need to tell it in a way that people can relate to it. Don't use jargon which people can't get emotionally connected to. Talk in English, or whatever your native language is, and tell personal stories. Be vulnerable. This is hard for a lot of organizations to do because they want the story to be perfect and polished before it gets issued. I advise leaders to put the story out in unvarnished and genuine ways while it's being generated, and let people help you make it better. Let people tell you early on when the story's silly and wrong.
Just think of all of the big companies which spend tens of millions of dollars creating a new campaign only to find out on launch day that the crowds in the social media hate it and have viscerally reacted negatively to it. They have to take down the entire campaign within 48 hours after spending lots of time and money. They probably did market research, but it was the traditional market research that didn't give them insights into how people were likely to react and participate in the story. Why not put the story out while it's an early idea and see if you can create some traction and build on it. This will give you some incredible progress toward getting to a compelling story. If it works you'll already have a built-in audience of people eager for what you have to offer.
VB: You advise that your current business model can become a straightjacket leading to failure. How does this work?
Saul Kaplan: Business models are straitjackets, and I don't necessarily mean this in a negative way. They're straitjackets in how they define the way you create, deliver, and capture value today. Once the rules, customs, incentives, and roles and responsibilities are made clear so everyone in the organization knows how they fit into the current business model the last thing you want is for all of this to change. The idea is to execute the business model, and it's a good thing. If you have a good business model and it can scale, you want great clarity on what everyone's role is and how people are to work together. You don't want everybody to be worried about how they're going to transform your current business model. You want people to be worried about how they're going to work together to meet the objectives of the business model. This is different than designing an entirely new business model.
It's particularly scary if the new business model is one that might disrupt the core business. If you're going to organize around a new model you have to organize and lead differently than the way you organize and lead for the core business model where you generally want to make incremental improvements.
Over the years I've learned that you have to be really clear about what your innovation agenda is. Be specific about your expectations and the objectives of your efforts. If your objective is to improve the performance of the current business model, then say so. Make that objective explicit, and then organize around it. Don't expect you're going to get entirely new business models from that exercise. If you want to design new business models make that explicit and clear. The organizational effort will be very different than the focus on incremental change to the current business model.
VB: Are many of the business leaders you deal with aware of the danger that their organizations may be "netflixed?"
Saul Kaplan: Yes. In my book, The Business Model Innovation Factory, I write about why business model innovation is the new imperative and why companies don't do it, and I provide some principles and a road map for how to do it. I use the example of Blockbuster and Netflix in the book, which most people recognize and can relate to.
Blockbuster had a clear business model. It was a bricks and mortar model where customers went to rent videos of their favorite movies, and this model scaled beautifully. It was a huge enterprise with 5,000 stores. But that business model was not designed to take advantage of DVD technology, where DVDs could be mailed directly to someone's home. Blockbuster had DVD's but they put them on the shelf as a product in their bricks and mortar store.
Netflix came along and implemented an entirely new business model. They delivered DVDs to customers' homes so they didn't even have to go to the corner store anymore. Blockbuster couldn't get out of its own way. They were stuck in their current business mode. Netflix took off, grew rapidly, and completely disrupted Blockbuster. Ultimately Blockbuster went out of business.
I use the verb 'netflixed' as in 'to netflix' a business. I don't think anywhere near enough leaders understand how vulnerable they are to being netflixed. They are not putting in place the platforms and tools necessary to avoid being netflixed. This involves experimenting with new business models while strengthening the current one so that instead of being netflixed they can be doing the Netflix thing to others. It's about playing offense instead of defense.
VB: Can you imagine companies like Apple, Amazon, Google, or Craigslist ever being netflixed by a disruptive technology and new business model?
Saul Kaplan: Yes, it's important to recognize that business model innovation is not a one-time exercise. You're going to have to be constantly exploring new business models. I talk about it in terms of doing R&D for new business models. In the same way today we do ongoing R&D for new products and technologies we need to learn how to do R&D for new business models.
We should have an ongoing portfolio of projects exploring potential new business models all the time. Even Netflix is vulnerable to being netflixed and, in fact, they are struggling mightily with the next format, which, of course, isn't DVD but rather streaming video. Now customers don't even need DVDs to be mailed to them. All they need is enough bandwidth to stream the content to their computer screens, iPads, or even iPhones. Netflix itself is trying to avoid being 'netflixed', and the movie is still out on this question. They've had some pretty interesting difficulties in moving to a new business model because it appears they waited too long to do it. It's going to be interesting to see whether they're going to be able to be the leader and define the marketplace in the streaming space.
VB: "Business model innovation is about creating next practices." How is this different than 'best practices'?
Saul Kaplan: Best practices are about replicating other peoples' practices in order to improve the performance of your current business model. Companies have become good at incremental improvements to the capabilities or practices that are part of their existing business models – the way value is delivered to customers. I call these 'tweaks'. It's about how to do a better job of what they do. They know how to scan the environment to look for 'best practices', and to benchmark themselves against these 'best practices'. Firstly, they look at other companies in their own industry and then they may look at practices outside their industry. Mostly they're looking at practices that they can dial into their current business model in order to improve its performance.
Business model innovation is more about "next practices." It's not trying to find practices to improve what you're doing today. It's trying to find the next generation of practices or new practices that can unleash entirely new business models.
Many organizations don't have the right balance. They spend too much time trying to copy existing practices, and not enough time trying to invent the next practice or figuring out ways to deploy practices in entirely new and different ways.
VB: You use the terms 'market makers' and 'share takers'. How are they relevant to business model innovation?
Saul Kaplan: Most of the world is comprised of what I call 'share takers'. Share takers understand the industry and markets they compete within. Their whole reason for being is to do it better than the next guy. It's about taking one more share-point away from a competitor, or protecting their current share from being stolen by another competitor. Share takers engage in the important competitive activity of understanding how they stack up relative to others in the markets they compete in, and how to improve their ability to increase their share of that marketplace.
There are far too few 'market makers' and too many 'share takers'. A "market maker" creates entirely new markets. Instead of trying to figure out how to compete in an existing market – being #4 and trying to move to #3 – 'market makers' say, "We want our own market. We're going to create the market and lead in our own market. We're going to constantly create new markets because, if we do, we can define the way that market works and achieve higher price points. We might have fewer customers but we're going to have more loyal customers who are willing to pay more for the experience, product or service. And then we're going to grow that market because we have the lead position in it, and the economics will be favorable for to us to do so."
This century screams for 'market makers', whether it's in the corporate world or in social systems like education, health care, or entrepreneurship. In these areas we need more 'market makers' who are not satisfied with making incremental improvements to the way things work today. We can create entirely new markets that take advantage of technology in more disruptive ways and thereby open up entirely new solutions to the problems we face. This is what it's going to take to be effective in the twenty-first century, whether it's improving the performance of a company, or improving value within our communities.
VB: When talking about creating value you say, "Understanding value through the lens of your customers is the best way to create a compelling value proposition." You advise that value propositions should be short; one of the examples you give – Zappos – contains only 3 words. Why should they be short?
Saul Kaplan: They need to be understandable. People need to be able to relate to them.
A value proposition doesn't mean anything if it looks like a corporate committee prepared it, and everybody had to add some words in order to make sure their function or area of the company was represented. I'm sure you've seen those types of descriptions. They don't say anything to anybody. They don't answer the questions, "How am I going to solve a problem for a customer? What value am I creating? What's the unmet need that I fit into?"
I'm constantly trying to get people to simplify their value propositions. It's important to be able to clearly express your value proposition, and to make it plain enough so people can understand what it is. If so they can relate to it.
VB: In reference to the question of how your organization delivers value you say, "Don't underestimate the importance of creating a shared operating vision…" Would you talk about this?
Saul Kaplan: If we're going to work effectively together to deliver value in a new way to our customers we've got to all get on the same page about how it's going to happen. We have to know how our capabilities complement each other, and the way we fit into the story.
Having a shared view of the way we're going to deliver value to our customers is really important. Otherwise what you have are functional silos that don't know how they fit together to deliver value to the end customer. Many organizations need to get much better aligned around this.
My favorite operating models are no more complicated than sketches on the back of a napkin. They are pictures which depict how we deliver value to customers and where customers fit in. Then everybody who looks at the sketch can experience an emotional connection, and with great clarity know how all in the organization are together going to deliver value to customers.
The napkin sketch may mean nothing to someone who is not in the company. It should mean everything to the people who have to work together to make it happen, and that's what's important.
VB: It helps to keep people in the organization focused on delivering value to customers.
Saul Kaplan: People feel really good when they understand how they fit into the picture of how value is delivered to customers. Many organizations have gotten so large and functionally fragmented that the people working in them forget how they fit into this picture. They either never knew or have forgotten it. It's hard to be passionate about what they do if they don't know how their contribution fits into the total equation. If they don't know they won't feel like they're part of an integrated whole.
Business models are less about organization charts and more about pictures of operating models which give great clarity to how we're all going to work together to solve our customers' problem.
VB: "Business model innovation is really just learning how to combine and recombine capabilities in new ways to deliver value." How does this work?
Saul Kaplan: The secret to business model innovation is being able to play with the parts. All you want to do is figure out what capabilities are available to you. If you are allowed to play with those parts in a different way than the way they are currently deployed in the business model, you can probably create better ways to deliver value without inventing anything new.
Too many people think innovation is about invention, that they've got to create something novel or new. It might be that they just need to recombine the capabilities in a different way.
I don't think Netflix invented anything new. They just combined capabilities in a different way to deliver value to their customers, and Blockbuster didn't have the flexibility to play with the parts. They had all the capabilities, but couldn't play with the parts because they were too rigidly stuck within their current business model. It's about having a sandbox to play with the parts in a different way. I describe this as a 'business model innovation factory'.
VB: Is this so you avoid being stuck in your current mental model?
Saul Kaplan: It's both a mindset and a model. There's a set of rules and processes for how those capabilities get deployed. When somebody comes to you and says, "What if we did it another way?" you will likely get 8,000 reasons why you can't do it that way.
In a sandbox, which can explore new business models, there aren't any constraints or there are as few constraints as you can possibly muster regarding how you play with the parts. This is what business model innovation is about. Give me the autonomy to play with the parts, let me demonstrate to you that there are new and different ways to deliver value, and then we can decide whether or not we can scale it. This will help us decide whether we should change our existing business model. But you have to let me play with the parts first.
Author Saul Kaplan tells us that business models don't last as long as they used to, and the twenty-first century we need to increasingly be concerned about being disrupted by new business models making our organization's products and services obsolete. This is an important warning for leaders of organizations.
Another of the many tips is we need to focus on improving the story underlying our business model if we wish to have employees who are passionate about their organization and be able to clearly communicate to our customers how we can provide value to them.
My conversation with Saul Kaplan will be continued in another IdeaConnection Newsletter. Look for it under the title '"Innovation Junkies."

Q: Hyphenating words with archaic spellings I often work with texts from the 17- to 1800s that (in addition to now obsolete words) contain familiar words in slightly different spelling. The language of these texts, and of the ones I'm writing, is one in which a lot of hyphenation has to be done, due to the high average length of its words (German). To complicate matters further, it's also a language in which hyphenation is regulated a lot more strictly than in, say, English. [Which doesn't mean that what follows is a problem restricted to German.]
In *TeX, this results in a problem: when hyphenating a word that comes in an archaic spelling, *TeX has no choice but to apply the same rules it applies everywhere else, as it has no way of telling if the spelling at hand is archaic or not. Quite often, this results in a hyphenation that is wrong by both archaic and contemporary German standards.
A classic example:
A lot of German words used to be spelled with a th where today there's only a t. Such as Teil (=part), which was Theil until that th went out of fashion, and even became eliminated from the official dictionaries around 1900 -- probably because of it's redundancy, as the h didn't make a difference in sound, unlike in English. Today, only few German words retain that Th, such as Thron (=throne), as they didn't want to offend the emperor when they officially changed the spelling rules.
The reason this is important to *TeX is that in today's German, with that kind of  th eliminated, the letters t and h hardly ever constitute one sound. So if we encounter a modern German word with a th in it, which happens quite often, it will usually be a word composed of two or more syllables (or words) -- the first of which ending with a t, the second starting with an h. As in, say, flathead in English. But sound is the very basis of German hyphenation practice, and *TeX knows that. So in *TeX, the archaic spelling of theil in beurtheilen (=to judge), will result in the hyphenation be-urt-heil-en, which is unacceptable because, in this case, the t and the h belong together in terms of both sound and meaning.
My questions are: has this ever been addressed somehow? I haven't been able to find anything suggesting that is has. Do we have other options except manual word lists using \hyphenation{...}? ...Which is particularly tedious in German because every potentially critical word may come with a dozen of versions for different genders, cases, etc.

A: The canonical approach is to use dedicated hyphenation patterns.  I'm not aware of existing patterns for German spelling predating 1901, but with a little bit of work, it should be possible to prepare some.
As part of Google's Ngram Viewer you can find corpora of words with annotated publication years for different languages (among them German) that could be used to prepare a list of German words from books published between, say, 1800 and 1900.  Such a list needs to be hyphenated (can be done with existing German patterns) and checked for the wrong cases you described.  Finally, patterns can be generated from that list.
I'd like to invite you to join German pattern project at trennmuster@dante.de.  We can discuss the issue in more detail over there.

Did Blues Influence Rock and Roll?
When we think of rock and roll, we think electric guitars, amplified sounds, and intricate styles of play, but what if I were to tell you rock and roll would not have existed without simple 12-bar forms, antiphonic textures, or walking bass lines used in blues music? Well I am here to tell you it is true. Blues music is one of the most influential characteristics that gave birth to rock and roll. Beginning in the Mississippi Delta region with African slave work songs and expanding to areas of Chicago and Dallas, blues went on to inspire rock legends such as: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix.
Multiple elements in rock and roll provide evidence of common blues qualities. Rock and roll was influenced by elements of blues instrumentation, rhythm, and purpose. Both rock and blues are composed of drums, guitars, and vocals. As blues was becoming increasingly popular throughout the 1950s, manipulation of notes and amplifying instruments occurred. Muddy Waters, for example, began experimenting with increasing the dynamics of guitars and bending the notes of the guitars to give it a "cry" sound. Does this sound familiar? As blues music developed, it pushed the emergence of rock and roll more and more. Early rock and roll followed a similar rhythm to blues music as well. As it progressed, rock and roll would end up integrating more intense rhythmic elements with an accentuated backbeat, but the foundation was the same. The purpose behind the music, produced by blues and rock and roll, is designed from the same perspective. The goal of both these genres of music is to create music with raw emotion. The blues emotion-driven style of music inspired the same pattern to be followed by rock and roll.
Many famous rock and roll bands were influenced by similar popular blues artists such as: Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, and Little Richard. Blues, along with the artists that produced it, was significant in the inspiration of the Beatles. The Beatles had a great deal of respect for Chuck Berry and what he did for music. Lennon once said, "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'." The Beatles credited Berry for being an important piece for creating rock and roll. Chuck Berry also influenced the Beatles with the lyrical content within his songs. The Beatles performed and recorded multiple covers of Berry's songs like: "Sweet Little Sixteen," "Carol," "I Got to Find My Baby," "Too Much Monkey Business," "Johnny B Goode" etc. It is easy to see that blues had an impact on rock and roll because a rock and roll band considered one of the best that ever lived, integrated it into their music.
In the video below, you can hear the blues influence in the Beatle's song, "Yer Blues". There is a use of an electric blues guitar and guitar riffs occur at 2:54. The song also shows the use of long drawn out lyrics. The lyrics are about being lonely and having suicidal thoughts, which relates to the emotion involved in blues music.
The Rolling Stones started out playing blues music in Britain and fused it with the rock and roll music they would be known for playing in the United States. The Rolling Stones were also a band influenced by the blues music of Chuck Berry. The Rolling Stones covered Berry's songs like, "Come On", and solidified the incorporation of blues roots into rock and roll. Muddy Waters was most likely the biggest influence on the Rolling Stones. They actually got the name for their band from the Muddy Waters song, "Rollin' Stone". The Rolling Stones often wrote blues songs with a heavier melody than improvisation. The Stones are one of the most obvious examples for showing the effect blues had on creating rock and roll.
Jimi Hendrix relied on a variety of blues artists for inspiration. Hendrix grew up listening to Little Richard, Muddy Waters, and Chuck Berry. Little Richard inspired Hendrix's blues roots and the sound he wanted to create with his guitar. Jimi Hendrix stated, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice." Muddy Waters was the first guitarist Hendrix heard and he marveled at the sounds Waters made with his guitar. Hendrix got his rock and roll attitude and over the top performance style from Chuck Berry. Berry was known for his famous duck walk and playing his guitar behind his head and in between his legs. Hendrix would follow by Berry's example and put on charismatic performances.

In the video above, you can see the performance style and duck walk of Chuck Berry. Berry gave rock and roll an attitude and indentified rock and roll as a lifestyle. At 0:30 into the video, Berry squats down with his knees bowed inwards before rising again ten seconds later and rocking his body back and forth. Then he squats down and does his famous strutting duck walk at 0:50. Also, throughout the video he plays his guitar at a fast pace and plucks the strings ferociously.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuTne–8XOk
In the video above, you can see the similarities between the first video of Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix in their eccentric performances. Throughout the video, Jimi Hendrix is moving all over the stage and breaks out into multiple guitar solos. At 1:20 you can see Hendrix playing his guitar behind his head and then playing his guitar with his teeth at 1:50. Next, at 2:50, he drops to his knees and lights his guitar on fire while taunting the flames to get higher. Finally, he smashes his guitar against the stage. This video is a testament to the attitude Chuck Berry and the blues gave to rock and roll.
Rock and roll borrowed so many different blues aspects and put them into its music and performances. Integrated blues aspects range from instrumentation to the story told behind the music. Whether influenced by blues music or blues musicians, the fact remains that blues had a monumental impact on the birth of rock and roll.

read its manual page:

impossible to share opcode cache, thats why you see different caches when apc is refreshed...
suPHP is evil too.
use mod_fastcgi with php-fpm
p.s. some apc configurations required to set apc.enable_opcode_cache = 1
